Obama Video: Mexicans Were Here Long Before America Was Even An Idea
President Barack Obama speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on September 15, 2010. In the closing remarks of his speech, Obama recites part of the Declaration of Independence, and leaves out “by their Creator.” He recited “endowed with certain inalienable rights….” The Declaration of Independence gives credit to God as the Creator who has “endowed” all men with “certain inalienable rights…..”
Somebody give the President a history lesson, please.
“Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land.”
Mexico declared its independence on September 16, 1810. It was recognized on September 27, 1821.
The United States of America declared its independence in 1776.
Wow!
